Train, Babcock Advisors is an investment advisory firm owned by our senior executives and our founder. We provide highly personalized, custom-tailored portfolio management exclusively to individuals and their families. We engage in no business other than investment management and its collateral services, financial counseling and assistance with our clients' family office needs.

The core holdings of all Train, Babcock portfolios are comprised of a careful selection of high quality companies purchased for the long term. We do not try to match an index. Rather, we seek out highly successful companies through intensive research. We follow a bottom-up investment process.

Your portfolio will be individually constructed to meet your particular needs, goals, and tolerance to volatility. Stocks are allowed to grow over the long term, thus realizing the power of compounding as well as minimizing trading expenses and capital gains taxes. All stocks are very closely monitored and they are promptly sold in the event their fundamentals deteriorate.

Good investment management requires people, and people are our strength. Our people have the intellect, integrity and devotion that you expect in managing your assets and in providing counsel and advice about your family's finances.
